Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2015 Land Rover Range Rover marks a notable inflection point in its generation’s federal record, particularly when compared to adjacent years. Complaints for this model year (54) are consistent with the 2013 baseline (also 54) but represent a modest decline from the 82 complaints in 2011, while recalls (7) remain steady with 2013 and 2010. The data reveals a broader trend of elevated technical service bulletins (TSBs) post-2010, peaking dramatically in 2013 (1,315 TSBs), suggesting systemic refinement efforts by the manufacturer—though the root causes of these issues are not specified in the data. The 2015 model’s top complaint areas—steering (38) and suspension (18)—align with recurring themes in the generation, though crash (5) and fire (2) complaints remain relatively low. This year falls in the middle of the generation’s quality arc, where early teething issues appear to have been addressed but before later-year improvements fully materialized. **Takeaway:** The 2015 Range Rover is a *marginally* better-than-average year to buy within its generation, as it avoids the peak complaint volumes of earlier years while benefiting from some mid-cycle corrections—though buyers should still budget for potential steering and suspension repairs.
